100% versions..? Party versions..? etc..?
So, I was wondering ...
Both "Delirious 11" and "X Marks the Spot" have the RESTORE key crash... and "X Marks" has a last minute glitch that crept in...
For myself I'd love to release a 100% version ... but I also kinda wouldn't - because doing so "dirties" the CSDB releases somewhat ... there'd then be something like an "X Marks Party Version" and "X Marks 100% Version" sullying the charts ........
I know Comaland had a 100% version, I can see it right now sat nicely at #2 in the charts ... but that version has more changed since the party version than what I'd likely do...
What do others think? Leave the demos alone and move on .. or go back and fix them. |

New and improved after party versions are more than welcome and need their own entry, nothing weird or shameful, on the contrary, shows that there is care on making the productions made 100% working. Everyone knows party version can be bugged, those can be fixed later. No news.
Surely if it's just a restore key blocker there's no much point in making a new version IMHO. |

Bah, I've been away from the scene for 27 years .. I forgot about this RESTORE key crash thing - if I ever knew about it in the first place (I have a vague recollection of it ... but at my age, I might be confusing it with something entirely different).
Someone mentioned it to me right before the demo compo at X ... a sort of "you should look into the RESTORE key thing for the next demo .. and hope that those guys upstairs don't press it during the demo." |

"Surely if it's just a restore key blocker there's no much point in making a new version IMHO." .. can a 100% version be attached to an existing entry as an additional download..?
The other thing that I wanted to fix was a single-frame D011 flicker on the first waves-part of the demo ... it really stands out (to me at least).
That's really all I wanted to look at for X Marks.. |

also not always blockable, sometimes you want to use nmi with timers for something. |

Quoting Oswaldalso not always blockable, sometimes you want to use nmi with timers for something. NMI usage or not, it's always possible to prevent crashes when pressing restore. |
